Beskrivning
Disasters can serve as focusing events that increase agenda attention related to issues of disaster response, recovery, and preparedness. Increased agenda attention can lead to policy changes and organisational learning. The degree and type of learning that occurs within a government organization after a disaster may matter to policy outcomes related to individual, household, and community-level risks and resilience. Local governments are the first line of disaster response but also bear the burden of performing long-term disaster recovery and planning for future events. Crow and Albright present the first framework for understanding if, how, and to what effect communities and local governments learn after a disaster strikes. Drawing from analyses conducted over a five-year period following extreme flooding in Colorado, USA, Community Disaster Recovery: Moving from Vulnerability to Resilience presents a framework of community-level learning after disaster and the factors that catalyse policy change towards resilience.

Recensioner i media

'After a disaster, residents and local governments often struggle to figure out a way towards holistic recovery, policy change, and learning. Based on extensive qualitative and quantitative data and rooted in hope, Crow and Albright focus on the flood-hit Colorado areas of Denver, Larimer, and Weld, to analyze when communities actually learn lessons following a shock. A deeply researched, important guide for decision makers and students alike.' Daniel P. Aldrich, Professor, Northeastern University, and author of Building Resilience and Black Wave
